Abstract Frail elders in nursing homes are the highest risk group for developing complications of COVID-19. This lead to a response from CMS and state regulators that was heavily focused on protection and safety through segregation and infection control. The purpose of this study was to gather the narrative of this pandemic response and understand the impact on person-centered care and be able to address provider needs in real-time. This qualitative method focused on nursing home providers who are a part of PEAK 2.0, a Medicaid pay-for-performance program in Kansas. Interviews with nursing home staff (n=168) revealed two critical themes of need; mandated responses disregarded elders’ autonomy and self-determination in decision making, and infection control strategies required new approaches to facets of resident care that still maintained dignity. This data, along with COVID-19 guidance were then used to inform feasible resource development and education to maintain PCC practices during the pandemic.

Abstract Pay-for-performance programs to incentivize quality are on the rise nationally (Werner, Konetzka, & Polsky, 2013 & Arling, Job, & Cooke, 2009). Kansas initiated a Medicaid P4P program to incentivize person-centered care (PCC) beginning in 2012 called PEAK 2.0. This program created an operationalized definition of PCC through stakeholder collaboration and research outcomes (Harris, Poulsen, & Vlangas, 2006). Homes enrolled in the program undergo both self-evaluation and objective external evaluation based on the operationalized definition. These key features inherent in the PEAK 2.0 program make up has aided homes to implement PCC as well as, the ability to research homes that have implemented PCC in a new a different way than ever before.

Purpose Person-centered care shifts the focus of treatment away from the traditional medical model and moves toward personal choice and autonomy for people receiving health services. Older adults remain a priority for person-centered care because they are more likely to have complex care needs than younger individuals. Even more specifically, the assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders are often thought of in terms of setting-specific (i.e., acute care, skilled nursing, home health, etc.), but the management of dysphagia in older adults should be considered as a continuum of care from the intensive care unit to the outpatient multidisciplinary clinic. In order to establish a framework for the management of swallowing in older adults, clinicians must work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team using current evidence to guide clinical practice. Private practitioners must think critically not only about the interplay between the components of the evidence-based practice treatment triad but also about the broader impact of dysphagia on caregivers and families. The physical health and quality of life of both the caregiver and the person receiving care are interdependent. Conclusion Effective treatment includes consideration of not only the patient but also others, as caregivers play an important role in the recovery process of the patient with swallowing disorders.

Introduction: The European definition of WONCA of general practice introduces the determinant elements of person-centered care regarding four important, interrelated characteristics: continuity of care, patient "empowerment", patient-centred approach, and doctor-patient relationship. The application of person-centred care in general practice refers to the GP's ability to master the patient-centered approach when working with patients and their problems in the respective context; use the general practice consultation to develop an effective doctor–patient relationship, with respect to patient’s autonomy; communicate, set priorities and establish a partnership when solving health problems; provide long-lasting care tailored to the needs of the patient and coordinate overall patient care. This means that GPs are expected to develop their knowledge and skills to use this key competence. Aim: The aim of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of the knowledge and attitudes of general practitioners regarding person-centered care. Material and methods: The opinion of 54 GPs was investigated through an original questionnaire, including closed questions, with more than one answer. The study involved each GP who has agreed to take part in organised training in person-centered care. The results were processed through the SPSS 17.0 version using descriptive statistics. Results: The distribution of respondents according to their sex is predominantly female - 34 (62.9%). It was found that GPs investigated by us highly appreciate the patient's ability to take responsibility, noting that it is important for them to communicate and establish a partnership with the patient - 37 (68.5%). One third of the respondents 34 (62.9%) stated the need to use the GP consultation to establish an effective doctor-patient relationship. The adoption of the patient-centered approach at work is important to 24 (44.4%) GPs. Provision of long-term care has been considered by 19 (35,2%). From the possible benefits of implementing person-centered care, GPs have indicated achieving more effective health outcomes in the first place - 46 (85.2%). Conclusion: Family doctors are aware of the elements of person-centered care, but in order to validate and fully implement this competence model, targeted GP training is required.
